This profound quotation is commonly called St. Teresa’s Bookmark as it was found tucked into one of the great saint’s books. St. Teresa of Avila was a Carmelite nun who lived in Spain and was a great mystic and prolific spiritual writer. I created this image today for three people: for Barbara and Jerry, my mother’s neighbors who lost their home in a fire yesterday. All of their worldly possessions were destroyed in about thirty minutes. Barbara ran out of the house with her purse, her robe and house slippers, and the cup of coffee she was holding when smoke billowed everywhere. The other person I created this for is a friend, Brenda, who emailed me to say she was feeling low and needed a word of encouragement. I thought that these three people who are deeply troubled would be comforted by these words of enduring wisdom and truth. Maybe someone else needs to hear them, too. God help us all to remember that he alone suffices and he alone is unchanging and dependable.

“Prayer is a friendly conversation with the One we know loves us.” St. Teresa of Avila Catherine De Hueck Doherty explained the same concept this way: “Prayer is conversation with God. It does not require a thousand books. It requires a simple and tremendous love of God and a total simplicity. I am beloved by God. He created me. This is the first idea. And he wants to be loved by me. We have to get that into our heads. Then we proceed to tell him we love him.” I think if we all engaged a lot more in this kind of friendly conversation with our Creator, the entire creation would benefit tremendously. I, for one, need to pray more. It’s as easy and as necessary as breathing; I wonder why we forget to do it?

St Peters Basilica, Rome As I entered St Peters Basilica I stood still amongst the noise and movement as a throng of people shuffled about. Just as I looked to my right the light shone through a window and upon St. Teresa of Avila. The light slowly moved up until it shone upon her face. I would not consider myself a religious person but it was a beautiful sight to see and made me wonder of the beauty man can create when it comes from the heart.
